Got some nice photos of my crazy socks 🤩 🧶 #knitting

george takei posting screencaps of posts on here instead of just quoting or RTing is so funny. keep farming that clout king youre one of the most annoying guys of all time

I know I'm not the only Jew on this website that is getting tired of y'all continuously posting sieg heil photos. We can effectively talk about how bad shit is without posting the photos. I promise you we can. Some of us still have living Holocaust survivors in our circles, ffs.

you can't spell "smart" without "shart". i mean this not in the literal sense, but in the permissive one qwantz.com/index.php?co...

How a genderfluid samurai kills someone: they/them

#FinishItFebruary Day 19 & 20 Because I’ve finished the socks I can add another UFO to my rotation: this Corriedale spin I started when I first learned to spin back in 2021. I can really tell how much I’ve improved when I look at these skeins!

I made this because I have never ever meant spin class #HandSpinning #HandSpunYarn #FiberArts

Victorian ingenuity in every loop! 🧶 The Second Book of "Hows" (1900) offers knitting guidance for the home. Its photos & techniques are both timeless & telling of its era. ➡️ https://archive.org/details/krl00402941 #Knitting #VintageKnitting #HistoricKnitting #Needlework #InternetArchive

Trump sank to new depths with his tirade of disinformation about President Zelenskyy. (Fact checker here: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...) @eddavey.libdems.org.uk is right, all of the UK must stand firmly with Ukraine against Trump's dangerous propaganda, taken direct from Putin's playbook.

One of the things that has me really scared for the future is the fact that the only way to beat fascism really will be violence

#FinishItFebruary Day 16, 17 & 18 They’re done! (just weaving in to do, 🤫) Extremely happy with these. What a challenge! Looking forward to knitting something completely different, plain stocking stitch in bulky weight maybe 🤣

Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.

If you see this post a knight ⚔️🌿✨ fave embroidery from last year

"A new generation of young women garment workers are organizing across factories and borders. They are even building relationships with women workers in the US. The fashion industry has no idea what's coming."

The first daffodils of the year have bravely emerged and so of course I think of this late 1880s gown, whose surface is covered with daffodils, embroidered in nodding splendour #americanmuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Happy Sunday and I’m done! Loved making this piece. Sparrow - Wool and ink on canvas #art #textiles #birds #birdart #wildlife

As I come up to 5yrs of No Buy, Only Make I’m thinking about what’s in my wardrobe, what I need, what I want from it etc. Ideally I would just be able to make the perfect garment every time but that’s rarely the case and as the clothes I currently have wear out 1/n

My friends hate me and want me to suffer... so you have to suffer too. LOOK UPON ALL THAT IS EVIL AND DESPAIR.

😍 Really excellent. And also really makes me wish that the men I know would experiment more. Truly, they are in fashion prisons of their own making.

#FinishItFebruary Day 15 & #ShowMeYourKnits WIP week Still working on these socks, round the ankle. I find the band parts of this pattern a bit repetitive but I’m on the home stretch now.

#FinishItFebruary Belated day 13 & 14 I joined together all the crochet squares and triangles, now it’s top shaped! Here I’ve laid it over an old fast fashion top whose shape I like, hopefully my top will fit the same. To do: a few rounds around the top edge, straps, and weave in all these ends!

I am once again asking you to look at my embroidery Also, psst, my patreon is: www.patreon.com/ericafails

#FinishItFebruary Day 11 & 12 I’ve finished all the squares and triangles of my crochet top and they’ve been washed and are currently on the blocking mats. And! I’ve done a bit of knitting and weaving today too!

First one (for myself) done. I already have one commission for another (greatest artist trade ever) and I’m looking forward to correcting the errors I made in this one. 🧶

multiple times a day i come across cool artists that i can’t repost because their images don’t have alt text. it is always so disappointing. 😩 please add alt text to your images so everyone can enjoy the stuff you make! folks are much more likely to share your work as well if you do!

Did you know about glimmers? "A glimmer is the opposite of a trigger. Like a micro moment that makes you happier, a little moment of awe, something that makes you feel hope. Once you start looking for them and embracing them, your life feels so much sweeter". #yarn #handspunyarn #yarnscraps #upcycle

This is why I like to make things; from the initial idea to the finished object, it’s all problem solving. What to make, how to make it, what materials, what budget etc. And for most of my projects I need to learn something new!
